Please leave us your thoughts...

 My new friend Mary posted this last week and I asked her if she wanted to cross-post it to my blog since I tend to get some interesting conservative comments.  

 Mary and I would love to hear from you, please enlighten us and we promise not to be judgemental :-)

Some Conservatives say... Barack Obama is the Worst President In History

In honor of the "Worst President in History" George W. Bush's visit to Milwaukee I thought I would ask a question of the "Conservatives" that come by and tell me in the comments that Pres. Obama is "doing far more damage" than Bush ever did.  All the "Conservatives" that came on over to find out where they could get Ron Johnson's yard signs can answer my question.  Dan Quayle's son who made the commercial calling Pres. O "the worst president EVER!" could pop in and answer my question.     

How has President Barack Obama ruined your country?

I want an honest answer.  I want to know what you are thinking when you say this.  I want to understand how you could totally block out what President Bush did, yet accuse President Obama of ruining the country.  I really want to know.

To anyone answering this question please be honest and very specific, as many reasons as you can enumerate.  I will not attack you or even contradict you, I will just listen.  I want to know were all of this is coming from, where do you get your news from?  Who do you rely on, who do you trust in this world to give you good sound "Political Information".

I want to be schooled here.  I want to be shown why I should stop drinking the Obama Kool-Aid.  Please do not call me an idiot or a moron, just teach me. I want to understand why...

President Obama reads my blog....

SO, I blew a gasket on this tax cut issue. Seems the president read my blog and put out this statement while still in Seoul..... :-)

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- President Barack Obama declared Friday that his "number one priority" is preserving tax cuts for the middle class, and sharply denied that comments by his senior adviser David Axelrod suggest that his administration is about to cave in to Republicans who also want to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.
"That is the wrong interpretation because I haven't had a conversation with Democratic and Republican leaders," Obama said of a Huffington Post article suggesting that in advance of negotiations with lawmakers next week, the White House has calculated that giving in on tax cuts for the rich is the only way to get the middle class cuts extended too.
"Here's the right interpretation -- I want to make sure that taxes don't go up for middle class families starting on January 1st," Obama said at a news conference at the conclusion of the G-20 Summit here. "That is my number one priority for those families and for our economy. I also believe that it would be fiscally irresponsible for us to permanently extend the high income tax cuts. I think that would be a mistake, particularly when we've got our Republican friends saying that their number 1 priority is making sure that we are dealing with our debt and our deficit."
Obama would not tip his hand on the discussions coming when Congress returns to work for a lame-duck session next week.

 I'm not apologizing just yet, I'll wait til President Obama gets home and has his meeting with the Democrats and the Republicans on these tax cuts.  I'm having a trust issue and still fear a caving is about to happen. What really upsets me more than the whole idea the Democrats will cave and extend the tax cuts for the rich, is the hypocrisy from the GOP and their hysteria about the national debt. How they can demand the tax cuts be permanent for wealthy Americans who don't need them, and then ask for cuts in middleclass programs because we can't afford all this spending, is unbelievable! It makes me crazy!

Something is terribly wrong in Washington!

In a move away from President Obama’s deadline of July 2011 for the start of an American drawdown from Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all cited 2014 this week as the key date for handing over the defense of Afghanistan to the Afghans themselves. Implicit in their message, delivered at a security and diplomatic conference in Australia, was that the United States would be fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan for at least four more years.

I'm not surprised, are you??

The White House signaled Wednesday that President Barack Obama is ready to cut a deal on the Bush-era tax cuts – accepting a temporary extension of the cuts for the wealthiest Americans to win renewal of tax breaks for middle-class taxpayers.
Such a deal would run counter to one of Obama’s longest-standing and most often-repeated promises from the 2008 campaign – that he would end the tax cuts for wealthier individuals.

The Obama administration must want to know how that will sit with its liberal base -- that could explain why David Axelrod's interview is on the front page of the Huffington Post this morning and not, say, the Washington Post.
You could look at a compromise from President Obama as pragmatic negotiating -- give a little now in order to get a lot of what you want later. Seen in its very best light, the proposal from Democratic Senators Kent Conrad and Evan Bayh can look like that; we'll give you the tax cuts now and you let us overhaul the entire tax code later.
You could also see the compromise as pure caving -- whatever happened to the idea of calling the GOP's bluff, of giving them a whiteboard and a marker and asking them to start finding the $700 billion they'll need to cover the tax cuts for America's wealthiest citizens?

President Barack Obama will agree toRepublican demands that Bush-era tax policies benefiting high-income Americans be extended, his top adviser said in aninterview with the Huffington Post.
David Axelrod, the adviser, said that will be the only wayto ensure lower tax rates for middle-income Americans also arecontinued. Unless Congress acts, the tax cuts enacted in 2001and 2003 expire on Dec. 31.

BULLSHIT!!

I don't know about you President Obama supporters, BUT for me, right now, I feel like vomiting. How much more do we need to cave to?? How much more disappointment can we handle as Obama supporters? The Dems and the president ARE CAVING! They claim they have to because they don't have the votes, I find that disgusting. Are they wording it right? Are they telling Americans the republicans WON'T agree to extending the tax cuts to the middleclass UNLESS the dems cave to their fuckin demands to extend the cuts to the wealthiest Americans? If so then WE ARE NOT ON BOARD!! I think most of us would even agree to let ALL the cuts expire just so the rich fatcats DON'T get to keep their current tax rate! What happened to the deficit reduction talks?? Those hypocrite thugs don't give a damn about the deficit! All this talk about spending cuts, they ONLY want cuts for entitlements that will affect the middleclass and poor. REPUBLICANS HATE AMERICANS, they hate anyone who lives a life dependent on the government for a less then poverty lifestyle! Let the thugs stand up on the Senate floor and tell us they do not care about cuts for SS and Medicare as long as we can borrow 700 billion for their rich friends.

Cornelius Hurley Boston University law professor :

Obama caving on the high income tax cut issue guarantees that he will attract an intra-party opponent from the progressive wing of the Democratic party. A challenge by a credible candidate, say Howard Dean or Russ Feingold, would ensure his defeat (if nominated) in ’12, see, Kennedy v. Carter in 1980.

I AGREE!!!! I'm really starting to believe Barack Obama wants to be a one term president. How else do you explain such obvious disregard for what the American people are asking of him? Mr. President you ARE NOT LISTENING TO US AT ALL! 


I stole this from fivethirtyeight..

The table below compiles a number of statistics related to prospective G.O.P. candidates in 2012. Moving from left to right, we have their current chance of winning the nomination according to the political futures market Intrade; the candidate’s current “power ranking” according to the National Journal’s Hotline, their average standing in five recent polls of prospective Republican primary voters (I don’t use the recent Zogby Interactive poll — we don’t consider Zogby’s online polls to be scientific), and favorability ratings among Republican adults according to the recent A.P.-G.f.K. survey.


as mad as I get with this president and present Congress, just look at these clowns in the running for 2012. They make Obama look like the best president in our nations history, BAR NONE!!
